Deal #893 Version #49989

This surfaces is in litigation between the peasant community San Francisco de Asis de Pucara and the mining company Centromin SA. For the community, this land is an "ancestral" common land (used in part for pasture) while for the company, it composes the Reserva Minera Pucara.

Thomas Siron: It seems that Centromin claimed for the property of the land in litigation and wanted, as a state company, the expropriation of the community, against whate this one attacked the company in justice.

The conflict between the peasant community and Centromin seems to have remained unresolved. The community is confronted to other two mining companies: Sociedad Minera Austria Duvaz S.A., and Sociedad Minera Corona S.A. for question of water contamination caused by exploitation. It would be necessary to update information about the situation. Centromin, which was a state owned company, was then privatized and it seems that it is now in liquidation.
